Re bikes, Boryana Straubel, JB's wife, died while biking in 2015. So I have no doubt FSD will be a net improvement in safety for cyclists. (funny enough, she was employed by the now CEO of NPR, Katherine Maher, at the time head of the Wikimedia Foundation. I probably even met Boryana at some...

In Italy you can buy it up to 13k€ with incentives.

I'm just guessing, but Elon is definitely not rich enough to just leave Tesla be. His big dream is Mars, and for that he'll need billions and billions, and probably Optimus. Would you just step out butthurt or fight with an appeal the first decision and meanwhile make your millions shares...

If Elon is not actually trying to persuade/talk with big investors, I see few chances. Uncle Leo is probably voting "no", and why should Vanguard or Norges Bank vote "yes" this time? The point is: what will be the consequences? I don't see Elon quitting (too much at stake) but I wonder.

Well...

The FUD is getting to me about the victory of the "No" for the comp plan. What do we think it will happen, if this is the case? I don't see Elon quitting - why would he, with all his stocks? I tho see the SP suffer quite a lot for a while. But, again, each and everyone of my short-term...

April 2024 was just <200 cars shy from April 2023. Some countries are stepping up, but the big 3 are declining: Germany, France and UK are down roughly 12k cars in the first 4 months of 2024, YoY. This means that it's like we lost a whole quarter of UK or France. So there are reasons to be...

I used Twitter personally and professionally even before and, while software-side ive seen improvements, Elon antics drive a way a huge part of interesting people. The Blue check is now definetely worse, not useful at all. Before It was not perfect, but right now Is ridicolous. Bots and spam are...

I totally agree, but... how can he - a really, really smart person - be oblivious to the fact that without a communication/PR department, him as the only "source of truth" regarding Tesla this style of communication causes issues? I mean, it's days the whole EV world is worried about...

These are indeed uncertain times. Elon himself fuels the uncertainty, and I agree with many here that his public persona has alienated so much of Tesla original constituency (the progressive/environmental/Californian people who bought into Tesla and TSLA) that right now, in this "down" moment...

From the Washington Post (sorry, political but I think quite important) https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/05/09/trump-oil-industry-campaign-money/

I see someone has read his Girard... ;-)

Not the best way to get your votes for a multibillion stock package...

Temporary ban? It happens to the best of us (like me, at least two times :D)
